Varga Doubles Up the Fun Way
Peter Varga was in a hand that saw heavy preflop action.
A player in late position raised 3,000, and then Varga three-bet to 10,000. If that wasn’t enough to get the adrenaline pumping, the small blind four-bet all in for his remaining stack of 25,000.
The player in late position tanked and pondered his situation, while Varga was jovial about the situation, playfully inviting the player to come in the pot. The player, however, showed his cards to a person who was standing off to the side and mucked his hand.
Varga, who had the small blind covered, tossed in 15,000 and the action went heads up.
Small blind: A?K?
Varga: 8?8?
“No ace!” Varga said to the dealer.
He aslso had to dodge a king, but his wish was met because the dealer ran out 7?4?7?9?7? to give Varga the hand and send his opponent to the rail.
As the players got ready for the next hand, it was revealed that the original raiser folder pocket jacks.
